1) Sonos doesn't require a server software (that's built I to every device) but the browsing is more basic than for the SB.
2) the phone handles all of the stream (the music is transmitted from the phone to the AirPlay device) so it needs to be always on, must not use other audio (no Facebook with movie autoplay or websites with audio while listening to music etc.) and you must not walk away. Why don't you just build your own Squeezebox with a Raspberry pi and a soundcard (e.g. Hifiberry). It's really simple these days because you can even buy pre-configured SW images and it works pretty well, you can even run the server on the device. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 9, the Universal App for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106107 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
